Get your gangster on - the top ten Irish mob movies - VIDEOS

Gangs of new york is not a mob movie

One would have thought 'Miller's Crossing ' would have been included in any top 10.

Re Angels With Dirty Faces,what in God's name are "dead in kids" ??? Could you possibly be referring to the Dead End Kids? Which by the way, this movie had nothing to do with. Again careless editing. If IC can't edit it shouldn't be publishing. O'Dowd, if you can't get your people to get editing the IC right, I have no hope for you as president of Ireland.

johnnymurphy, Irish Americans grow up in a very strong Irish Culture. Should we ignore our heritage because you don't like us saying we are Irish?. I bet a lot of us grew up with more Irish culture then a lot of Irish in ireland have. We are a distinct people with Irish American stories to tell. You will never begin to understand what the experience's of Irish Americans, Italian and Jewish especially in the cities where the immigrants raised there families.

ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES - 1938 "Dead in kids?! It's Dead End Kids, I mean what does dead in kids mean, anyhow?

What about the Road to Perdition with Tom Hanks?

Is anybody on here actually Irish ha ha? Or are you all Americans who like to pretend they are looooool!!!!!!!!!!! Out of these American made Irish films i'd say Gangs of New York and Boondock Saints is pretty good too

For me it's Boondocks Saints. The older movies I've seen too many times. And the rest I didn't care for. And Boondocks Saints ll All Saints Day, is just a filler movie between 1 and 3.

mickfiosa. Potatos instead of pasta.

I’ve gone for ‘Gangs of New York’, simply because of the quality of acting and sheer drama in all of its terrific scenes. However, the movie I’ve watched more than a few times, and still enjoy it every time, is Boondock Saints. I agree with Chieftain’s comment on it though. I thought there was a Boondock Saints II being made? I never heard anymore about that.

Glad to see that Jimmy Cagney made the cut. I grew up watching those old movies on TV with my dad. I worried that, as an Irish kid, I'd either have to be a Moll or a nun when I grew up ;-)

Boondock Saints is still one of my favorite movies...ironically enough, Boondock Saints II was one of the worst movies I have ever seen (so much potential ruined).

My best irish mob movie is Gangs of New York and The Town but Goodfellas is also great!
